Summary

Sous Chef – Savoury Production Kitchen

Cheshire | £30,000–£35,000 | Monday–Friday | 6:30am–3:00pm | No Weekends

Perfect Recruitment are recruiting for an experienced Sous Chef to join a high-quality savoury production kitchen in Cheshire.

This is a great opportunity for a Rosette-trained Sous Chef, Senior CDP or experienced Chef de Partie ready to step up who wants to continue working with quality ingredients and high standards, but with a much better work-life balance.

You’ll work alongside the Head Chef to oversee the daily production of premium savoury products, maintaining consistency, quality and excellent food standards across the kitchen.

The Role

• Support the Head Chef with the daily running of the production kitchen

• Lead and support the kitchen team

• Oversee food production, quality and consistency

• Work with premium ingredients and high-quality products

• Support menu and product development

• Maintain excellent food safety, hygiene and compliance standards

• Help drive efficient kitchen organisation and production

• Contribute ideas and improvements to products and processes

About You

We’re looking for a chef with a strong background in quality, Rosette-standard kitchens, ideally gained within fine dining, hotels, restaurants or similar environments.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous Sous Chef or Senior CDP experience

• Strong culinary skills and excellent attention to detail

• Experience working with quality ingredients

• High standards around food quality and presentation

• The ability to lead and support a kitchen team

• Good organisation and time-management skills

• A genuine passion for producing consistently high-quality food

Most importantly, you may be ready for a change from evenings, split shifts and weekends — without compromising on the quality of food you produce.

What's on Offer?

• £30,000–£35,000 salary, depending on experience

• 6:30am–3:00pm working hours

• Monday to Friday

• No weekends

• Premium ingredients and high-quality food production

• Professional, structured kitchen environment

• Excellent work-life balance

• Opportunity to bring your restaurant-level skills into a different style of kitchen

If you're an experienced chef looking for better hours without stepping away from quality food, this could be an excellent next move.
